I'm almost livid at the moment. Just got back from the store where, while I was checking out at the cashier stand, some guy says, "They've cancelled the hockey game tonight". I had to bite my tongue quite strenuously to avoid a sarcastic retort, i.e. "The hockey game? THAT's your concern? Are you freakin' nuts?"
